People weren’t joking when they called the Clash “the only band that matters.” At the end of a decade when most rock music was being made by increasingly self-possessed millionaires, the Clash were a revelation. They played like the Who on speed (which is a pretty big deal, considering the Who were on speed to begin with) and howled about — well, it was hard to make out just what Joe Strummer was singing on those first few records, but you could tell he was pissed. More importantly, the band’s power and passion sounded like the solution to every social ill they addressed, as well as the cure for every personal disappointment you’d ever suffered. As spontaneous as they seemed, the band’s three-chord anthems were marvels of songcraft; lead guitarist Mick Jones’ pop smarts gave Strummer’s righteous anger plenty of hooks to hang on, while Strummer’s rage lent heft to even their catchiest songs. As their career progressed, Strummer and Jones explored the Roots and Reggae hinted at in the band’s first recordings with increasing confidence, until hubris eventually did them in. But if the Clash hadn’t been so arrogant to begin with, they never could have convinced a generation that rock bands were capable of starting revolutions instead of just singing about them.

“Hey ho, let’s go!” And so the Ramones introduced themselves to the world. The song was “Blitzkrieg Bop” and the album was entitled simply Ramones. For many people, those fourteen staggeringly short songs marked a joyous return to real rock ‘n’ roll — to a time before the music was muddled by overblown arrangements and self-aggrandizing pomposity. They have been amazingly influential, showing budding musicians everywhere that you don’t need technique to create exuberant, catchy and joyous music. Countless imitators followed — everyone from the Sex Pistols to Blink 182 owe a huge debt to these four Brooklyn-based ne’er-do-wells. Onstage, the frighteningly tall Joey lurched and staggered, dangerously close to falling and impaling himself on the mic stand, while bassist (and primary creative force) Dee Dee shouted “1-2-3-4!” to introduce every song. The Ramones command attention with the sheer energy of their fast and loud sonic onslaught. They love pure pop — the kind produced by girl groups of the early 1960s and songwriters such as Brian Wilson. “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker,” “I Wanna Be Sedated,” and even “Pet Sematary” are absolutely infectious songs. By melding such hook-laden tunes with an aggressive stance, high volume, and no-frills songwriting, the Ramones became one of the most important rock bands of all time.

Fear of a Punk Planet-V01

It’s 1985 and Stevo is that rare animal, a punk rocker in the Mormon stronghold of Salt Lake City, Utah. He just graduated from college with honors and now his life is a nutty roller coaster ride of rock shows, stealing cars, beating up rednecks and non-stop partying with his buddy, Heroin Bob, and his girlfriend. But with the scene getting lame and Stevo going nowhere fast, he has to put his punk ideals to the test. With a choice between No Future and Harvard Law School, what’s a guy with blue hair supposed to do?
